Honestly, he's not wrong. I use Ruby and 99% of the gems on rubygems.org are absolute trash. I use Rails and stuff like Nokogiri or Faraday, also RubyLLM, but little else because of reasons.
NPM is even worse, you import one thing and get 1000s of trash libraries so nowadays the only JS I write is vanilla and I import ES Modules manually.
Also, Odin doesn't make adding dependencies that difficult, you can literally just throw an Odin library into your project as a folder and it's available. The Odin compiler does everything else for you.
